Francine Roberts Poet Senryu

My Heart Was Smitten

by
~~~Francine Roberts~~~
for Michael Falotico's 'Eyes First Meet' contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


magnetic blue eyes
    the first thing that I noticed
        ... my heart was smitten


his grin was beauty
   his eyes were mesmerizing
      as I fell in love


eyes of sapphire blue
   looked into my very soul
      ... they found love to share

Andrea Dietrich March 26, 2011 at 6:57 PM AWesome, wow, sapphire blue!! Hey, Francine, I notice you were one who said in my blog that you can get in by clicking to the right. What do you mean? I right cilcked my mouse. Also I just clicked normal off to the right but neither way helped me. It was difficult today for me to get on here!!

George Aul March 26, 2011 at 12:50 PM A great loving write....good luck in the contest ....George

Carolyn Devonshire March 26, 2011 at 11:39 AM Captivating senryu series, Francine. My late husband's eyes were so blue that I couldn't take my eyes off of him the first time I saw him. You reminded me of that magical moment in your poem. There is an ad over your "teacup" so I can't send you a soup mail. Check spelling of sapphire. Wishing you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn
